[Verse 1]
Dm Dm Am Am
The Diamond is a ship, me lads, for
Dm Dm Am Am
the Davis Strait we're bound,
Dm Dm Am Am
the quay it is all garnished with
F F C C Dm Dm
bonny lasses 'round;
Dm Dm Am Am
Captain Thompson gives the orders to
Dm Dm Am Am
sail the ocean wide,
Dm Dm Am Am
Where the sun it never sets, me
F F C C Dm Dm
lads, nor darkness dims the sky


[Chorus]
Dm Dm
For it's cheer up me lads, let your
F F
hearts never fail,

For the bonny ship, the Diamond,
G G
goes a-fishing for the whale.
Dm Dm
For it's cheer up me lads, let your
F F
hearts never fail,
G G
For the bonny ship, the Diamond,

goes a-fishing for the whale.

[Verse 2]
Dm Dm Am Am
Along the quay of Peterhead, the
Dm Dm Am Am
lasses stand around,
Dm Dm Am Am
Wi' shawls all pulled around them
F F C C Dm Dm
and the salt tears runnin' down;
Dm Dm Am Am
Well don't you weep, my bonny lass,
Dm Dm Am Am
though you'll be left behind,
Dm Dm
For the rose will bloom on
Am Am F F C C
Greenland's ice before we
Dm Dm
change our mind


[Chorus]
Dm Dm
For it's cheer up me lads, let your
F F
hearts never fail,
C C
For the bonny ship, the Diamond,
G G
goes a-fishing for the whale.
Dm Dm
For it's cheer up me lads, let your
F F
hearts never fail,

For the bonny ship, the Diamond,

goes a-fishing for the whale.

Here's a health to the Resolution,
Dm Dm Am Am
likewise the Eliza Swan,
Dm Dm Am Am
Three cheers to the Battler of
F F C C
Montrose and the Diamond, ship
Dm Dm
of fame;
Dm Dm Am Am
We wear the trousers of the white
Dm Dm Am Am
and jackets of the blue,
Dm Dm Am Am
When we get back to Peterhead, we'll
F F C C Dm Dm
have sweethearts anew,


[Chorus]
Dm Dm
For it's cheer up me lads, let your
F F
hearts never fail,

For the bonny ship, the Diamond,

goes a-fishing for the whale.

For it's cheer up me lads, let your

hearts never fail,

[Verse 4]
Dm Dm Am Am
It will be bright both day and night
Dm Dm Am Am
when Greenland lads come hame,
Dm Dm Am Am
Our ship full up with oil, my lads,
F F C C D D
and money to our name;
Dm Dm Am Am
We'll make the cradles for to rock
Dm Dm Am Am
and the blankets for to tear,
Dm Dm Am Am
And every lass in Peterhead sing:
F F C C Dm Dm
"Hushabye, my dear"


[Chorus]

For it's cheer up me lads, let your
F F
hearts never fail,

For the bonny ship, the Diamond,

goes a-fishing for the whale.

hearts never fail,
